restore.store on iOs doesn't work if nothing has been purchased

Hi,

my app has been rejected because there is no “restore” IAP button. I create one and it works fine,… except when there is nothing to restore. Actually the store.init() doesn’t get called at all… Is there a way to fix that ?

Hi there,

You have to call store.init() yourself before you call store.restore().  If you try to call store.restore() first, nothing will happen, which it sounds like is what you’re experiencing.

In fact i just want to pop a message up when the user touch the restore button and has nothing to restore. When he has purchased something, all is fine and i can do something after the transaction.state has matched on “restored”. But when he hasn’t, nothing happend and i don’t know how to catch this other state…

OK, I see what you mean now.  So when you call store.restore() for a user who hasn’t previously purchased anything, you’re saying that your callback function doesn’t fire at all?  I could maybe understand if it doesn’t fire with a “restore” transaction type, but I would think it would still fire with some minimal (perhaps mostly empty) table.  It doesn’t?

Yes…
